Just because the Black Friday sales are now a thing of the past for another year, it doesn\u2019t mean that Amazon customers can stop taking note of critical security alerts<\/a>. Similarly, while Google Chrome update warning fatigue may well be setting in, what with seven zero-days confirmed<\/a> so far in 2025, and the emergency browser updates<\/a> continuing through November, it\u2019s vital that you still pay attention, taking appropriate and speedy action. Case in point: Google has just confirmed no less than 13 security vulnerabilities and is rolling out a Chrome 143 security update to Windows, Mac, Linux and Android users. Do not wait for it to reach you automatically; you must kickstart the update process and ensure you activate the protections<\/a> right now.<\/p>\n ForbesCISA Warns iPhone And Android Users \u2014 Secure Your Smartphone NowBy Davey Winder<\/a>Chrome 143 Has Arrived As Google Starts Rolling Out An Update With 13 Security Vulnerabilities Patched<\/p>\n \u201cThe Chrome team is delighted to announce the promotion of Chrome 143 to the stable channel for Windows, Mac and Linux,\u201d Srinivas Sista from Google said<\/a>, adding that the update will \u201croll out over the coming days\/weeks.\u201d Not long after, Google\u2019s That\u2019s the good news. These vulnerabilities have been discovered, responsibly disclosed, and the necessary patches applied to fix them. One even earned the researcher who caught the bug a bounty of $11,000.<\/p>\n The bad news is the fact that the fix is coming in days, or even weeks, according to Google. You cannot afford to wait that long if you take your security seriously. Sure, Google updates Chrome automatically, so you can just sit back if you want, but I would not advise it. Instead, I would take control and get that process moving right now, today. It\u2019s easy enough to do by heading to the Help|About Google Chrome option in the Chrome menu. Just doing this will automatically check for and download any updates. But, and it\u2019s a big but, you must relaunch your browser when prompted, or the protections will not be activated.<\/p>\n Kickstarting a Google Chrome security update.<\/p>\n Davey Winder<\/p>\n Rleaunch to activate or you are NOT protected.<\/p>\n Davey Winder<\/p>\n And relax. Until the next update arrives…<\/p>\n
Krishna Govind confirmed that Chrome 143 for Android will also \u201cbecome available on Google Play over the next few days.\u201d Which is nice. Actually, it\u2019s more than nice it\u2019s absolutely essential as the update actually fixes no less than 13, unlucky for Chrome users, security vulnerabilities, four of them with a Common Vulnerability Scoring System severity rating of high.<\/p>\n
